Securing your Microsoft Office 365 Environment
You may have seen the Australian Government Report recently on the threats against Australian networks (see the link below)
This threat is applicable to you and to your network
Your cloud services that are most vulnerable are your Exchange Email and SharePoint (Office 365)
To help us protect you it is vital that your cloud services are protected by multi-factor authentication.
The report from the Government today states:
Multi-factor authentication should be applied to all internet accessible remote access services, including:
- web and cloud-based email
- collaboration platforms
- virtual private network connections, and
- remote desktop services
Please don’t dismiss this as it’s not important to you. It can and will happen to you without further tightening your security
If your organisation has had a breach of data that is likely to result in serious harm to any individuals whose personal information is involved in the breach, you may have legal obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

Please help us help you by getting on board to implement Multi-factor authentication in your network
